Other things we learned from a specials streaming about the show:
- Class premieres Saturday October 22 on BBC3 with the first and second episode.
- Ep. 1 is called 'For Tonight We Might Die'
The main characters are (from left to right) Tanya, Charlie, Miss Quill, April and Ram
- At least one of the series regulars is openly gay with a partner, they still haven't revealed who. (my money is on Charlie tho)
Been asked if Class will have LGBT representation in it. Will a lead character with a boyfriend who he kisses & sleeps with & loves do?

We were keeping that secret, but today that secret doesn't seem very important. #lovewins

Kind of astounded that having a gay lead on Class has been such big news (EW, Radio Times, Express...). One day it won't be, one day soon.

- Also, there's a chance this year's Christmas Special is a Doctor Who/Class crossover.
Could the Doctor Who Christmas special be a Class crossover? https://t.co/qtrQv2opDE via @radiotimes

And the best news is that unlike Doctor Who, this show is Moffat-less, since he has minimal involvement with it. All Showrunning duties rely on Patrick Ness.
